Pellegrini Ross & Hardies 65 East 55 Street New York, New York 10022-3219 RE: The tariff classification of gloves from China. Dear Mr. Pellegrini: In your letter dated March 14, 2002, you requested a classification ruling on behalf of Paris Asia, Ltd. The provided sample will be returned as per your request. Style 886507 is a lined and insulated half- fingered glove with a palmside constructed of a polyester fleece fabric in a solid color. The backside of the glove is made of a camouflage-printed fabric. The glove features a sewn on mitten style cover that can be placed over the fingers or secured with hook and loop fasteners when not in use and also a slit across the palmside thumb which allows the wearer to expose their thumb. Additional features include a leather reinforcement at the center of the palm which extends to the forefinger and middle finger hems, a ribbed knit cuff and a hook and clasp. Noting the features of the glove, we believe it shows design for use in the sport of hunting.
